“What???”
The youth’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets! Inside of him, 10,000 giant beasts were roaring, “This d*mn girl was making him drink this dirty lake water!”
How could he drink something like this??? It was so filthy. Unless it was specially processed, wouldn’t he have diarrhea from drinking it! How could that do! He was incredibly noble, so regardless of how much he had fallen in hard times, he must drink filtered water!
“Give… me… dew… water…” Duan Yue brokenly uttered.
In consideration of how his hand was broken and his miserable state, shouldn’t the child be magnanimous and lend him a merciful hand?
However, reality showed that the child had already fed her kindness to the dogs.
After hearing Duan Yue’s words, the child instantly answered with a snort, and an irritable impatience pervaded her eyes. She grabbed onto the youth by his long hair and heavily pressed his head down, dunking his entire upper body into the lake water!
“Gurgle gurgle…” Taken by surprise, the tragic youth drew in a mouthful of water and instantly felt like the entire world wanted him to suffer!
“Ah… cough cough cough.” The youth struggled but remained pressed down by the child, so he swallowed another giant mouthful of water with a gurgle.
“Puff… ah, cough cough cough.” When Duan Yue’s head could finally emerge from the water, his upper body was soaking wet.
“You!” His handsome face was flushed, and this was the first time that he was so enraged.
Heavens knew how many filthy microbes he had just swallowed! Heavens knew whether these things would wage a war in his stomach and cause him to be in so much pain that he would lose the will to live!
Qiao Mu dryly glanced at him, the disdain in her eyes could not be any more evident.
“You… you country people, are you all this unparticular? Don’t you know? I have never drunk dirty lake water like this in my life! You!” This was was simply too infuriating!!!
Qiao Mu finally understood why this fool had gotten himself into his current dehydrated state. It turned out that he was probably distasteful of how “dirty” their water containers were, so he did not drink a single sip of water.
Qiao Mu snorted, derision and indifference clear as day in her eyes. “You dislike its filthiness? That’s because a delicate young master like you has never experienced a true shortage of food and water. When you are near death, even if it’s only a piece of dried tree bark and a teaspoon of water so dirty that you can’t even see its color, you would still eat it and drink it.”
“How could you be so unreasonable…”
“In order to survive!” Qiao Mu interrupted the youth’s words and met his dumbfounded gaze. She continued with an aloof expression. “When survival is the sole thing that remains in your conviction, then you won’t care about anything else! Clean? Dirty?”
Qiao Mu sneered. “Soon, you won’t have a choice.”
In the late stage of the zombie outbreak in her previous life, all the water sources had been contaminated, so it was difficult to find any clean water sources on Sikong Planet. No one could prevent this eminent calamity from exploding.
“Choice?” Qiao Mu snorted. “First, you must still have your life in order to have the power to be choosy!”
If he considers clear lake water whose bottom could be seen as dirty, then what should the people who were able to drink even muddy water do with themselves?
Duan Yue looked at the child, startled. He felt like the iciness that was concealed deep inside her eyes while she was speaking to him was so sharp that it could freeze everything.
She might look like she was looking at him, but she also looked like she saw the not so distant future through his face. There was a trace of indifference and numbness in her detached gaze.
Duan Yue took a deep breath and repressed the fury that wanted to erupt in his heart. However, when he was about to speak, an arrow with gales chasing after it shot through the air and landed next to his feet.
